91 yr old, Grand Canyon, Guinness Book Of World Records.

I want to be like this guy when I grow up. John Jepkema, who lives in Colorado, walks 4 to 6 miles a day with a 30 pound back pack on. Also, he’s 91 years old. Plus, he just made it into the Book Of Guinness Records as the oldest person to walk across the Grand Canyon. It’s 24 miles from rim to rim. To John, it wasn’t a big deal. He said, “It was something to do with my friends. I scheduled five days. Lots of time to view and socialize.” He did have a walking stick in each hand, mostly just to help keep sure footing. Otherwise, he looked string and sturdy. He also took a quick rest every hour to “sit on a flat rock”. John says that you’re only as old as you think you are. Stay active and keep moving is his advice.
